Lesson 6  

Hello dear all, long time  no updates, sorry I'm a bit lazy recently;;P

Okay, for today,  we are going to learn "<em>stick out like a sore thumb</em>".

"stick out like a sore thumb" is "out of place", means something or somebody is not fitting well.

e.g: I got stuck out like a sore thumb when I moved to New York  this summer, there is quite an affluent area. 

A greatful heart I want to say a big thanks to my caring parents! I feel I'm so strong to face any difficulties in the future since I know dear mom and dad will always back me up. The future is unpredicted, the road I'm gonna walk is unknown, but I know , no matter where I go, no matter what I do, I'd never fail to hold a greatful heart to appreciate my parents, our hearts connect together!

Do you guys have ringxiety? The term is formed from the words "ringtone" and "anxiety." Ringxiety refers to the sensation and mistaken belief of some people who hear their mobile phones ringing or feel them vibrating, when actually the telephone is silent. The reason for this could be psychological or neurological, especially for those office workers who rely highly, perhaps obsessively, on the communication tool in both work and life.

Lesson 5 "handful" & "bread"& "nest egg"

''handful' can mean someone is behaving in a way that is wild and hard to handle and that he is keeping you very busy.

My niece is quite a handful in grocery stores.

'bread' is slang for money.

I am short on bread.
I need to find more opportunities to make more bread.

'nest egg' refers to money put away in reserve for future use, maybe to buy a house or to get married or something.

I need to build a nest egg to pay for my health insurance.

Lesson 4

Hello , nice to see you again. Have you learned former 3 lessons? Hopefully you've absorbed them already:)  And oh, please make some sentences with the idoms in each lesson ,as thus, we could insert them in our mind deeper.

Ok, idioms for today are: "blah" & "bounce back"

"blah" is a word that describes how you feel when you have a cold or are sick - Blah is the feeling you have when you are really tired and have no energy.

e.g.: I certainly wish I didn't feel so blah. I haven't been able to sleep very well with this runny nose and cough...



When referring to a thing, blah means something that isn't very good or interesting.

The dish she cooked was so blah , I really had no apptite for that.



 "bounce back" means to recover from something.

I am looking forward to bouncing back from this cold.

 

Lesson 3 Hi yourself, it's time for our lesson 3. Today we have also two idioms to absorb.

<em>yummy & yucky

"The almond cookies look especially yummy."  

"yummy" here denotes delicious, tasty, something is very nice to eat.


"yucky" actually is quite the opposite than yummy, that is to say , something is disgusting, you have no desire to eat .

"I feel eggplant is pretty yucky, I'd never have a thing for it. "</em>
